I found it with a Google search. This article came out earlier this year. Six coaches have done it in the history of the NFL. But John Fox is the only active NFL coach to have led multiple teams to the Super Bowl. Here's the article below:

Inside exclusive club of coaches who led two different teams to Super Bowl
Always a quick study, John Fox reached the Super Bowl in his second season as Carolina’s head coach in 2003. He went back to the biggest of games in his third season with Denver, in 2013. And I guess that bodes pretty well for the 2018 Bears, which would be Fox’s fourth season in Chicago. Unless he sticks with the every 10 years trend and leads some unspecified team to the Super Bowl in 2023. As the only active coach in this exclusive six-man club, all possibilities remain open.
“It takes a special group to even get to one,” Fox said, late in his first season as the Bears head coach in 2015, after his wildly successful four-year coaching stint in Denver, where he led the Broncos to four consecutive AFC West crowns and the 2013 AFC title. “I really think it’s special just getting to that game, given the amount of work that goes into it. It’s kind of what motivates me here in Chicago now. It’s about putting together a culture, with the right personalities of people. And I’m talking about everyone, coaches, players, trainers, equipment guys, there’s just so much to it. It’s about getting a great group of people to commit to a mission and then executing it. Then to be able to do that twice, in two different places, really that’s what motivates me today, to try and do it a third time here in Chicago.”
Part of Fox’s ongoing drive to return to the Super Bowl stage is obvious, in that his Panthers lost narrowly in the final seconds to New England in Super Bowl XXXVIII, with his Broncos a decade later being blown out 43–8 by Seattle two years ago. As a defensive coordinator with the New York Giants in 2000, Fox’s first Super Bowl experience was also a losing one, with Baltimore routing the Giants 34–7 in Tampa. That 0-for-3 record never completely leaves his mind, but it does not define him.
“You take pride you in any time you get the opportunity to go to that game,” Fox said. “I remember my first chance was with the New York Giants in 2000, as defensive coordinator, and I had coached for quite a long time at that point, because I started in the NFL in 1989. So that’s a lot of years and I had never been to one.
